If what the writer of the article says is true, then every wacky thing the NK regime has done over the past several months makes a lot of sense. Average NK citizens are completely disillusioned by their rulers, and the regime is responding by banging the war drums hoping to whip everyone up into a patriotic fervor. I guess that's a lot easier than actually trying to fix the infrastructure problems in NK or shutting down the black market. I don't know.........this is a psychological warfare officer who worked for the gov't and yet believed that S. Korea was the one that started the Korean War..........50 years later. Then there was the man who was born and grew up in a prison camp and believed that his life was typical of life throughout the world.............that being perpetually hungry was normal. He now lives in S. Korea after he escaped. A news show interviewed a N. Korean woman who wept openly when she was showed photos of the younger Kim even as she had escaped ten years earlier. She was raised to believe the Kim family were gods. N. Korea has one teevee station and all it shows is regime propaganda.........how do you develop another view? Maybe those closest to the Kims are disillusioned but it sounds like the average 'kim' is still a believer.
